Life of Pain
pain that stains
splatter painted bleakness
every breath a lifetime
screeching cacophony
beaded blood brow
supine imprisonment
explosive axon inferno
shattered mind shrapnel
sucking inhalation
cycle renewed
60 seconds gone
deteriorated fortitude
torture perverted existance
island in sea of despair
can anyone hear me
because I no longer care

Author's Note
Life with severe chronic pain is hell. I've been there and bitterness is inevitable. It is indescribable and so you feel it is impossible for others to understand. Well wishers oblivious to your lack of hope. This is my attempt to describe it. Thankfully I was able to eventually heal and no longer struggle with the pain. But I watch others who struggle with it every moment of every day. It rips my guts out and shatters my heart. If I could only help. So frustrating.

The positive side effect of pain is the knowledge that we are still alive and that there is still hope to strive towards.
